This is a great basic T-shirt bra to have in any bra collection. It's super comfortable and the material is soft, almost satin-like. It's no frills; just a great staple item that can be worn every day. Also I like that it's a plunge style so it can be worn with lower neckline shirts, making it more versatile. I'm normally a 30D but I chose my sister size 32C and it fit perfectly.

I have always loved this bra. Full coverage and full support; also minimizes. Smooth lines when wearing a t-shirt and comfortable. After a while the underwire twists in the wash but that is only after having it a long time. Just be careful with it in the wash and is a great bra. Really keeps the girls in firmly.

I've been looking for a different brand of bra for sometime to replace a brand that was no longer working as well for me. The Awareness bra was recommended to me by one of the customer service staff at Bare Necessities and it's a real winner. It fits well, is comfortable, the straps stay up (my chief complaint with my old one) and does what a bra is supposed to do. I also like the color selection.

I am petite and wear a 32 DD in this bra. Straps don't slip and it is ultra comfortable. I never notice anything uncomfortable during the day.The only bra where after all day I don't have the urge to come home and immediately take it off. I purchased 5 of these initially, probably 6 months ago, and they are still going strong. Very durable. Nice shape.

I am always looking for a comfortable bra that my husband appreciates. He has a hard time with bras that look institutional. I wear uniforms in my profession and this bra gives a nice shape under any garment. I can wear it all day with out it pinching. I have had it over a year and it still looks new. The only con is the material was a little scratchy at first but softened up after laundering.

I love this bra! I wear it in 36DDD and it is the first bra in my size that I really feel sexy wearing. The support is good and somehow even though it's a balconette style, I don't feel like I'm jiggling out the top. I found it on a sale rack in a local store and tried it on a whim because I loved the look and color. I think I'm going to buy it in every color available in my size. Thank you B'Tempt'd for making it possible for an "old" gal with big girls to feel sexy again. :)

This bra is very comfortable, and I love that it hooks in the front! Quite supportive, and holds you in place with no "bounce". Great for us busty girls! It does seem to run a bit small though. Not so much in the band, but the cups seem on the snug side. Maybe I should have ordered a 32DDD instead of a 32DD. I'm keeping it anyway as it's pretty comfy, and who doesn't need a convertible bra? It does seem to flatten me somewhat, but I still like it. Next one I'll order up in the cup size and see if it makes a difference.

The Wacoal Simple Shaping Minimizer bra is the ONLY bra I wear as a size 40G woman. It is comfortable, but very supportive while minimizing at the same time. The straps are comfortable as well and stay in place. I hope they never stop making this bra!

Great bra! I really love that it's not cut high. Great for lower cut summer tops!

Very pleased with my purchase. Fits great, looks great. I wear it under my lower cut summer tops and dresses. I always buy Wacoal bras for their fit and the fact they fit beautifully and are high quality!

It's hard to find a full cup bra that doesn't have 12 hooks in the back and doesn't look matronly. I think this bra is great. It's supportive, doesn't smash the girls, and it doesn't leave dents in my shoulders or a bulge on my back. I wear a 34DD or a 36DD depending on the bra, and the 36DD was a good choice for this bra. It's unlined, so if you get nipply a lot you may want another bra. I don't have that problem, so this bra was exactly what I hoped it would be. It's lace, so just know that you can't wear it under everything you own (thin material may show the lacy-ness). The periwinkle color is gorgeous.

This is my very first purchase and I can not believe how amazing this sports bra fits! I'm a 36DD and in order to workout, I usually have to where a regular bra, for the support, and 1-2 sports bras, for the coverage and to minimize movement. But this bra is so amazing! The coverage is great, the support is perfect, the straps and behind the clasps has padding, and it's pretty light weight and breathable. All around good product! I definitely will be buying again.

I've read a lot of mixed reviews for this bra which is what lead me to write a review of my own. I think this bra is fantastic for those of us whose breasts are more "deflated" at the top, but much fuller at the bottom. I have very large breasts (G-cup), but there is almost no volume at the top, which makes it quite difficult to find a correctly-fitting, much less flattering, bra. This one truly fits the bill because it is very supportive without leaving huge gaps at the top of the cup. I can see how it might cause pointy boob issues for those of you who are blessed with perkiness, but for those of us who aren't, this bra is very helpful. It's also comfortable, there's very little spillage in the back (I wear a small band size so there's always bound to be a little that comes over the top), it's durable (I've been rotating three of these bras for two years), and it looks good under both casual and work clothes. I would agree with the reviewers that mention the lace at the bottom of the cup being slightly uncomfortable and perhaps too much for sensitive skin. It's not too much for me, and it has actually permanently folded upward so I don't even notice it any more, but I could see how it might be an irritant to some. Overall, I would give this bra more than five stars if I could because I've never found one to fit me without gaping before and I plan on buying many more before I run the risk of them possibly changing the style one day!

This bra is a perfect fit for me. It is very comfortable and pretty. I was a bit concerned that the lace trim would show through my white t-shirts, but this has not happened. I've already purchased a second one as a backup.

This is the most comfortable, best-fitting racerback I have ever owned. Larger-sized women know how hard it is to find these bras - they never seem to scale up correctly. The lace band is very pretty, and it's tight enough that it will survive minor stretching (approximately equivalent to the tightest or second-tightest hook in a Chantelle bra of the same band size). The cups are a bit small, but I would only size up if you are between sizes.

very comfortable - fits similar to Wacoal front closure I've worn for years.

Fits well for more necklines than front closure which will show straps on some necklines. Due to a shoulder injury I chose front closure for yrars until I had a tstal shoulder replacement over a year ago and now can fasten both styles. I love that my choices have expanded and should have gotten shoulder fixed long ago.

I was introduced to this bra by my cousin. I now have 4 in different colours. The support is good at the sides and underneath the breast. The straps are supportive and do not dig into the shoulder. The bra fits comfortably and is not restrictive. I will buy again.

I love this bra! I wear a 32 or 34 band size depending on the bra brand...I ended up with a 34DDD in this bra. Being 5'1", I need a bra that lifts and brings them in...I don't like the spread out look. This bra does it fantastically and is beautiful at the same time! I have multiples of this bra. Now if only I could get a t-shirt bra that kept my boobs up front and center like this one does...

Finally, after years of wearing unsupportive and flimsy racerback bras, I have found the one that truly is the best.
This is not some heavy duty, hard to get on, itchy, racerback bra.
Infact it is kind of light weight, easy to put on, and soft with cute back detailing that is actually not scratchy. It is also smooth so great under thin tanks. I can't even explain how supportive this is - no more sagging and no more quadra-boob.
I found this to be true to size ( I wear a 36DD now in Wacoal, Chantelle, and Le Mystere).
get it now before summer ends!

good quality bra. however, it loses its support after approximately 2 months of wear even with having it in rotation with my other bras (of the exact same brand and style, just different colors) and worn every 4 days, more or less. therefore, i'm constantly readjusting the straps, and feel like they've already exceeded their life span. good everyday bra though.

I've been looking for a quality racerback bra. Finally found it- yeah! It's not as comfortable as the balconette Fantasie, but works great for a convertible bra. Good quality as I would expect from Fantasie. Like the 2-tone detail in the front, it adds something.

I wear a relatively slim band size but large cup (34E in this brand's sizing). Because the support comes from the band and the cup material, the straps do not dig into my shoulder, so no shoulder pain. And unlike other lace bras I've tried in the past, this one is not at all itchy. Also tops -- from dressy to t-shirts -- look better with this bra underneath than with many others I've tried. This is the most comfortable and supportive bra I've ever owned. For these reasons, I've been buying this particular brand and style for about 5 years, ever since my daughter introduced me to it, even though they are expensive. I watch for annual online coupon/discount offers to get the best price.

I love this brands bra's. I still like the Melody bra better but this one is good. It's a little stiffer material than the melody so that is why I didn't give it 5 stars but it is a good supportive bra. And pretty which is sometimes hard to find in larger sizes.

More expensive isn't always better. Every one that I have bought has last a long time 1 yr if not more and i've never spent more than $30. They do stretch out cup size it seems so i always but one cup size down. These are my go to comfy bras.

I like the bra although haven't worn it yet so can not comment on how 'slip free' it will be! Based on try on it seems like it will be a favorite. I am a petite person and sometimes I have a problem with straps slipping off the shoulders but from what I can tell with this particular bra that won't be a big problem either. I prefer three hooks in back and wide straps and this bra is close! If the bra wears well I will definitely purchase another of the same because it's also pretty and versatile.

Love everything about this bra!! It has a really nice fit to it that almost feels like a second skin instead of a bra. It gives really great support and honestly, I have never looked more round and perky. It's wonderful!! I am new to the Chantelle brand but will definitely be exploring their other styles.

the material feels a little cheap, and the straps aren't as thickly padded as other bras i've owned, but for the price, it's not bad. shaping is okay, but it's not my go-to every-day bra of choice. at least it's fashionable bra for larger sizes!

I don't particularly enjoy having large breasts on my relatively small frame and finding a bra that is pretty, supportive and comfortable is a challenge. LOVE this brand. I have purchased two of their bras (I know they are very expensive, but it's cheaper than breast surgery!) and love the way they fit. For some reason, they seem to help balance my posture pretty well and I don't feel like my breasts are "in the way" when I'm wearing these. They fit wonderfully. I also don't feel like I'm wearing a Middle Ages-designed harness.
I think this is a luxury any large-breasted woman can rationalize to herself if it's at all possible. I definitely recommend.

I LOVE this bra!! It fits perfectly with great support and coverage. I wish I'd ordered TWO!! The color is a nice nude and the lace isn't too frilly so it lays down even under silk. I love that it is indeed a full coverage that provides lift. While I wish the straps adjusted up a bit more, I'll just have a seamstress handle that part.
